Nursery design tips: Yeah, we’ve got those\u00a0covered. Because if you know us even a little bit,\u00a0you know that nurseries are one of our favorite design challenges. Sorry living rooms!\u00a0From balancing fun and function<\/a> to living up to a\u00a0parent-to-be’s design\u00a0vision<\/a>, every nursery design project is unique.<\/p>\n

In Part I of Havenly Designer Ann F.’s Nursery Design Story<\/a>, we got an enticing look into the\u00a0first steps of the project. Ann outlined some of her design considerations, such as centering the design around a bold and beautiful wallpaper choice \u2013 something that made her feel like she was stepping out of her design comfort zone.<\/p>\n

In Part II of this Design Story, we’re delighted to share photography of the finished space as well as 3 tips for a fabulous nursery design.<\/p>\n

3 Decorating\u00a0Tips From Ann’s Nursery Design Story<\/h2>\n

Tip 1: Design For Light Control<\/h2>\n

\"Nursery<\/a><\/p>\n

If your newest family member complains about the nursery’s design\u00a0in their first few months, please give us a call \u2013 we’d love to meet them! But chances are, your kiddo will be oblivious to your decor choices. They will, however, notice those pesky rays of light disturbing their naps.<\/p>\n

Ann’s nursery uses whimsical interior window shutters<\/strong> to control light. But curtains with a blackout liner<\/strong> could work just as well.<\/p>\n

Step 2: Design Outside The Box<\/h2>\"Nursery<\/a>

You’re going to spend a heckuva lot of time in this room.\u00a0Don’t feel like you have to play it safe in every aspect of your nursery design. Those long hours in the glider or rocker will be that much easier when you’ve got something pretty to look at.<\/p>\n

We love how Ann added visual interest and texture to the space with a bold tree-patterned wallpaper and tree stump table lamp. While these hints of nature might not necessarily be your thing, a wallpaper accent wall or unique decor choice could\u00a0be just the thing you need to bring a sense of excitement to your space.<\/p>\n

Tip 3: Everything Is Storage!<\/h2>\n
